Father bathing his daughter
Question
Please could you tell me if there is any ruling in Islam for a father not to help with the looking after of his daughter with bathing her and washing her when she uses the bathroom. My daughter is now six and insha Allah another girl on the way. My mother in law refuses to let me help and insists only she and my wife may do this.
Answer
Let the women do this work.
And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.

Fatawa SA is an independent, read-only index of fatawa already published by Mufti Online — Madrasah Ta'leemuddeen. It is not a fatwa service. For your own situation, ask the issuing Darul Ifta directly.
